Spa day!

My clutch was sticking about halfway to the floor, but I could pop it back in place with the top of my foot. Turns out, it was a failing slave cylinder. So I replaced the slave & master, and it's back good as new.

My 70 does this and I assumed it was the springs on the pedal were weak

I actually changed the springs on the pedal assist thing, but that didn't help. So I kept digging.

I bet those springs are a bitch to change. Ordering now. Any tips?

I just used a wire coat hanger. Use the loop on the end of the coat hanger to grab the end of the spring and pull down. Popped right off. However, that was after I tried about 5 other ways to get them off with no success.... I haven't changed out the plastic piece yet, so no tips on that.

I was also going to change the spring from the clutch pedal to the firewall, but it's NLA (PN# 90905-07006). So if someone knows of an alternative please let me know.

Thanks,
Darren

Hello,

The two tension springs elongate over time. If memory serves, in old age they are up to 5 mm or 3/16 in.

The other spring is referred to as "tension spring" in the parts catalog. Part number is 90905-07006, and it was available not so long ago when I replaced mine.

A good hook is enough to pull the two tension springs.

The long spring is held in place with two small C-clips. They tend to fly away, and it is good to be careful. It elongates around 3 mm or 1/8 in. over time.

Hope this helps.
